[acnumber9]

Calm the feck down, it'll be opened again straight after the match is over...

I think you may be the one needing to calm down.

 

[kiristao]

If that's a foul by Yoro, it's a definite penalty on Maguire

 

[El Jefe]

This is an Amorim issue. We've been playing this shit system for five months and we don't look any better at it.

We were crap under ETH but he got us to 8th last season and this season would have probably had us in the 8-10th range. We thought that was rock bottom but Amorim is taking us down further.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Imagine that guy being our starting LWB next season.

He's a 20 year old brought for £20M. There's no way he should be any more than a back up LWB, yet he's starting every week.

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Remember when the common refrain was "we can't sign the far more technically gifted Alvaro Carreras because he's 'slow'".

Meanwhile Dorgu has absolutely zero acceleration and hasn't beaten a man since he got here.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

We desperately need more goals in the team. This lad will add that. It's a no brainer for me.

 

[JBG]

I just realized Hojlund is playing after a great touch, and then he ran it out of play

A Højlund with confidence would have ran past them... seen him do it when he first came here.

 

[Hammondo]

The first time it's been done recently I think. We already knew the mods were top reds who don't tolerate managerial criticism though.

Player performance is always locked during games.

 

[acnumber9]

No it’s not, give your head a wobble.

Of course it is. It’s not always shut during matches is it?

 

[Orton]

Getting nothing in this game.

 

[elmo]

Please stop playing Hojlund. We can't keep playing with ten men

We literally have no choice to play him because we’re desperate for him to get some confidence. We can’t play anyone else upfront in the Europa.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

How many teams have done the double against us so far this season?

Off the top of my head:
Bournemouth (currently)
Brighton
Wolves
Spurs
Forest
Newcastle

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Give Obi a go at half time.

 

[Widow]

It's very concerning that we haven't improved as the season has gone on. I wasn't expecting miracles but it's alarming how steep the decline is

 

[Dudu]

I don't think we've been as poor, so far anyway, as some have suggested. We've been punished for one mistake but not much between us otherwise.

In the last few games out buildup play has usually been decent, but finishing consistently bad (all season) in the final third.

Here our build up play has been awful too. But we've grown into the game last 10-15 mins.

 

[mitchmouse]

Garnacho only one playing…

 

[Fortitude]

It really is tempting though

He’s not looking good. At all. £30m.

 

[Dobba]

Of course it is. It’s not always shut during matches is it?

What is stopping you from posting it in here, other than your desperation to feel oppressed?

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

There’s clear systematic fouling going on against him that isn’t being dealt with.

It’s so clear to see.

 

[Flying high]

I don't know why I'm still surprised by how low the refs in this league will sink.

Said it before, but a big part of us being unbeaten in europe is the lack of PL refs in our games.

 

[Sassy Colin]

The ref is giving us nothing whatsoever this game. I give up.

 

[Woziak]

So we're fine with finishing the season 17th?

He gets 8 PL games next season if he hasn’t got 15/16 points sack him, he’s shown nothing to suggest that he can succeed in the EPL, give him the summer and 3/4 players, the rest should be bought by Wilcox.

I’ve seen nothing from RA, we are trying to play counter attack football with no pace because he fell out with the pace we had in Rashford, at least keep him to the end of the season?

Why because he’s miles better than Hojlund or Zirkzee playing counter attack football. And now wants to sell Garnaucho the only other player with real pace in our squad.

 

[Reiver]

If that's a foul by Yoro, it's a definite penalty on Maguire

Yeah good point

 

[RedStarUnited]

Is that the plan though? Buy some better forwards so we can then pass it around at the back for 5 minures and then just lump it to them when we get bored or properly pressured?

There's been nothing tinkered in 6 months to make getting the ball to the half way line not seem like getting blood out of a stone.

Last few minutes have been better in fairness but it seems it only improves in games once we go behind.

No I agree its not the plan but it means every team that plays us knows they can just get on top of us and theres no long ball.

 

[acnumber9]

Just post it in here you saddo, desperate to feel oppressed.

It is what it is. I thought a thread about the manager is the best place to discuss the manager.

 

[davidmichael]

Theres no evidence that Amorim pushed Dorgu on the recruitment, is there?

Not necessarily Dorgu but Amorim almost certainly said he wanted a left wing back and would have given the ok on him whilst agreeing to Malacia leaving.

 

[#07]

I don't understand how anyone can be remotely happy with what they're seeing from us at the moment.

We're struggling to create anything in open play. We move the ball at a snails pace. It's awful. People are treating not shipping 20 a shots a game as progress.

Even Bruno has lost the adventure in his game and is playing like a five a side player. We've become an absolute nothing team.

 

[The Mitcher]

This is an Amorim issue. We've been playing this shit system for five months and we don't look any better at it.

We were crap under ETH but he got us to 8th last season and this season would have probably had us in the 8-10th range. We thought that was rock bottom but Amorim is taking us down further.

Which was a drop from 3rd, mate. They are both awful.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

watch the Adams tackle get brushed over

 

[Sassy Colin]

Only just realised Hojlund was playing

 

[acnumber9]

Get a grip man.

Would it be shut if it were full of praise? Of course it wouldn’t.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

Bruno in full whinge mode.

Well, as well as very likely being a pokemon in disguise. Dorgu is also a truly dreadful footballer.

Dorgu! Lightning attack! Now!

 

[VP89]

A Højlund with confidence would have ran past them... seen him do it when he first came here.

He had confidence there - he wanted to take the player on instead of passing it. It's not a confidence issue, he's just shit.

 

[pjaya]

He’s not looking good. At all. £30m.

Still better than hojljnd haha

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Of course it is. It’s not always shut during matches is it?

It should be

 

[DJ_21]

I disagree, especially for this game anyway. Prior to Bournemouth scoring, I felt we were doing quite well.

But we’ve done a lot better when they scored. We’ve created more chances

 

[GDaly95]

Darkness has fallen.

The long night rages on. A black hole beyond all time and space has enveloped the earth. Pain knows no bounds.

Gravity has given way to an infinite void which sucks in and engulfs any residual echo of joy and happiness that was once felt in a distant memory.

I scream into the void. There is no sound. There is nothing.

Fancy our chances in the second half though!

 

[The Mitcher]

We literally have no choice to play him because we’re desperate for him to get some confidence. We can’t play anyone else upfront in the Europa.

We don't have to play him, false 9 or Obi (in the league).

 

[sparx99]

This is an Amorim issue. We've been playing this shit system for five months and we don't look any better at it.

We were crap under ETH but he got us to 8th last season and this season would have probably had us in the 8-10th range. We thought that was rock bottom but Amorim is taking us down further.

The same issues were there under Ten Hag. Perhaps he would have improved but we couldn’t take chances and couldn’t defend prior to him being sacked.

 

[Waynne]

Garnacho misses but sure fcked up someone's camera behind the goal.
